Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Wadsworth, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Wadsworth is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
