Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Blakeslee, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Blakeslee is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
