Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Arcola, IN.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Arcola is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
