Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - West Lafayette, OH.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in West Lafayette is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
