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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors 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 they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Van Wert is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
