Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Cherry Fork, OH.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs 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 might provide group and individual therapy and 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 that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Cherry Fork is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
