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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Wallace is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
