Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Boone Grove, IN.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Boone Grove is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
