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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals 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 opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Somerdale is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
