Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Frazeysburg, OH.

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

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Frazeysburg is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
