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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Bryan is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
