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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Millersburg is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
