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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Rock is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
