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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Phillipsburg is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
