Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Cedar Grove, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Cedar Grove is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
