Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Corinne, WV.

Methadone is a prescription medication 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 used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Corinne is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
