Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Cass, WV.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Cass is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
