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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs 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 usually designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Gaston is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
