Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Townville, SC.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help 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 alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Townville is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
