Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Crawley, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Crawley is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
