Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Olmsted Falls, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Olmsted Falls is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
