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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs 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 dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Pageton is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
