Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Granville, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Granville is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
