Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Farmersville, OH.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group 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 additional rehabilitation services in Farmersville is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
