Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lake Village, IN.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Lake Village is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
