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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Avon is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
