Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Robertsville, OH.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Robertsville is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
