Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bellmore, IN.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual 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 which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Bellmore is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
