Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Sidney, 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 a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Sidney is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
