Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Silver Lake, IN.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Silver Lake is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
