Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - North Robinson, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group 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 which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in North Robinson is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
