Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Montpelier, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Montpelier is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
