Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Belington, WV.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond 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 due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Belington is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
