Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Hillsboro, 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 activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Hillsboro is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
