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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients 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 effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Yolyn is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
