Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Oolitic, 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 someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted people 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 alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Oolitic is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
