Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Poland, IN.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Poland is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
