Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Enterprise, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual therapy and 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Enterprise is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
