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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Midway is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
