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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Hambleton is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
