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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted 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 effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Prairie Creek is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
