Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Uhrichsville, OH.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Uhrichsville is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
