Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Buckland, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors 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 the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Buckland is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
