Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - North Canton, OH.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment 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 due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in North Canton is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
