Akron Treatment Services

Recovering from opioid dependency alone is a very difficult task. Making it more difficult is the harsh symptoms of withdrawal. Vomiting, Nausea, Headaches, Cramps are among the many symptoms recovering patients of opioid use disorder may experience. That is why at the Akron Treatment Center, one of the best methadone clinics in Ohio, use methadone and other related medications that are approved by the FDA as effective tools in helping ease patient’s symptoms of withdrawal. This is called Medication Assisted Treatment or MAT. The medications will activate opioid receptors in the brain without giving euphoric sensation. That way, patients will not be dependent on the medication and it will help them control any cravings. Counseling is also a major part of the treatment at the Barberton methadone clinic. Licensed counselors are always readily available to help patients through this transitional stage in their lives. They will work through the emotional aspect of the dependency with the hopes of providing a permanent treatment.
