Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Davenport, VA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Davenport is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
