Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Hicksville, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests 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 experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may offer 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Hicksville is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
