Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Pennsboro, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Pennsboro is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
