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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in New London is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
