Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals 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 withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.
Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Merrillville is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
