Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Jeffersonville, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted people 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 effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Jeffersonville is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
