Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Fredericksburg, IN.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Fredericksburg is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
