Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Fultonham, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent 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 symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Fultonham is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
