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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Rock Hill is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
