Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Elyria, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Elyria is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
