Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Garrettsville, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Garrettsville is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
