Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Kanawha Falls, WV.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 recovery services in Kanawha Falls is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
