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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Colliers is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
