Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Monrovia, IN.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Monrovia is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
