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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become 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, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might 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 opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Sumerco is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
