Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ireland, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might provide 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Ireland is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
