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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated 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 they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Pineville is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
