Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Duncan Falls, OH.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Duncan Falls is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
