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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Haviland is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
