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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual 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 that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Swiss is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
