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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Earl Park is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
