Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Hurricane, WV.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Hurricane is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
