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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Matheny is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
