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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Milledgeville is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
