Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Canal Fulton, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver 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 additional rehabilitation services in Canal Fulton is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
