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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Monterville is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
