Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Eldorado, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted 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 effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Eldorado is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
