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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Walhalla is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
