Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Mount Eaton, OH.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get 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 that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Mount Eaton is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
