Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Middletown, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Middletown is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
