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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become 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, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Collins is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
