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

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

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Shelburn is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
