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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Bethesda is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
