Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Alma, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Alma is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
