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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed 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 spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Heltonville is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
