I go there twice a week.

Here I thought `twice' was a adverb.

Now, someone told, it is a `adjunct'.

So I am being confused.

Is the `adjunct' and `adverbs' are one and the same?

This should clear your doubts:

noun [ C ] FORMAL
In grammar, an adjunct is an adverb or adverbial phrase that gives extra information in a sentence.
