Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Beech Bottom, 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 activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Beech Bottom is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
