McDonough, a place with a total area of 33.11 km² of which 1.50% is water, is a city in Henry County. As of 2018, McDonough had a population estimated at 25,782. That it does not have hundreds of thousands of residents does not rule out the possibility that it could be home to some people battling opioid use disorder. Opioid use disorder has become a very big problem. Residents of this city may visit any methadone clinic McDonough GA to medically treat it. Medication-assisted treatment practitioners are available at methadone clinics in Georgia for the medical treatment of opioid use disorder. Methadone minimizes the craving and effects of opioids. Opioid could cause as much psychological harm as physical, therefore, medication-assisted treatment usually includes doses of methadone, counseling, and psychosocial support. It is required of the medication-assisted expert to brief the program enrollee on the possible side effects of methadone. Before the commencement of the maintenance, the program enrollee must show voluntary interest in it. In dispensing doses of methadone, the medication-assisted treatment professional considers the complete health history and results of diagnoses of the patient. Only the exact doses of methadone are given to the program enrollee to avoid abuse or diversion into the illicit market. Methadone maintenance could continue for several years until full recovery is achieved.
