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

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

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and 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 additional treatment services in Montezuma is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
