Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Palestine, WV.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Palestine is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
