Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Columbus Grove, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Columbus Grove is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
