Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Hatfield, IN.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get 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 which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Hatfield is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
