Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Shepardsville, 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 are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people 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, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Shepardsville is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
