Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Moorefield, WV.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Moorefield is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
