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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Farmington is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
