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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Barnesville is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
