Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Martinsburg, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group 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 that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Martinsburg is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
