Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Montville, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals 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 symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Montville is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
