Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Man, WV.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Man is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
