Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Kistler, WV.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to 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.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Kistler is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
