Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Brice, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Brice is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
