Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - New Straitsville, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated 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 feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in New Straitsville is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
