Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Pinopolis, SC.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Pinopolis is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
