Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Keystone, 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 a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals 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 alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Keystone is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
