Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Pemberton, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group 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 by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Pemberton is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
