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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Greenford is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
