Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Fort Wayne, IN.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Fort Wayne is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
