Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Wharton, 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 triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they 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, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Wharton is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
