Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Brownsburg, IN.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Brownsburg is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
