Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Big Creek, 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 someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Big Creek is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
