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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in West Millgrove is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
