Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Southington, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people 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 instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Southington is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
