Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Oxford, IN.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Oxford is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
