Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Port Washington, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Port Washington is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
