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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group 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 opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Bladensburg is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
