Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Curtice, OH.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual therapy and 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Curtice is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
