Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Winfield, WV.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Winfield is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
