Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Roebuck, SC.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Roebuck is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
