Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Newberry, SC.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Newberry is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
