Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Coxs Mills, WV.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Coxs Mills is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
