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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Hewett is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
