Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Buckeye Lake, OH.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Buckeye Lake is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
