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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Lucasville is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
