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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning 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 become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Williamsfield is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
