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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals 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 opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual 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 supplemental rehabilitation services in Uniopolis is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
