Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Low Moor, VA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group 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 recovery services in Low Moor is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
