Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Mays, IN.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Mays is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
