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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Glengary is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
