Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Rome City, IN.

Methadone is a prescription medication 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 facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Rome City is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
