Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Sandyville, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to 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 used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Sandyville is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
