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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Lowell is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
