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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Fowlerton is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
