Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Rudolph, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that 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 additional treatment services in Rudolph is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
