Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Wedgefield, SC.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Wedgefield is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
