Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Clear Creek, IN.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people 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 effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Clear Creek is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
