Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Waterloo, OH.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Waterloo is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
