Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Cameron, 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 activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 additional recovery services in Cameron is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
