Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lithopolis, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 further rehabilitation services in Lithopolis is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
