Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Pepper Pike, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Pepper Pike is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
