Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Hillsboro, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people 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 effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Hillsboro is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
