Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Glenford, OH.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and 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 which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Glenford is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
