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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than 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.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Fairborn is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
