Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Beaverdam, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals 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 instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Beaverdam is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
