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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because 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 rehabilitation services in Ethel is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
