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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people 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 instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 supplemental recovery services in Plainville is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
