Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Maria Stein, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery 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 drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Maria Stein is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
