Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Chattaroy, WV.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Chattaroy is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
