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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized 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 normally designed to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Rockford is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
