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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Wilberforce is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
