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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Neville is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
