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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people 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 effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Antwerp is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
