Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - North Ridgeville, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in North Ridgeville is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
