Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Bath, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Bath is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
