Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Circleville is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
