Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Bergoo, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation 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 which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Bergoo is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
