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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs 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 instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Simpsonville is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
