Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Kermit, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Kermit is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
