Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Fraziers Bottom, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get 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, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Fraziers Bottom is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
