Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Richland, IN.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Richland is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
