Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Jeffrey, WV.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Jeffrey is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
