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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Fayette is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
