Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - South Bloomingville, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in South Bloomingville is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
