Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Mullens, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 recovery services in Mullens is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
