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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Salineville is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
