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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Euclid is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
