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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Racine is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
