Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Ridgeville Corners, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe 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 provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group therapy and 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 that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Ridgeville Corners is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
