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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Milam is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
