Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - New Marshfield, OH.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in New Marshfield is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
