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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Plymouth is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
