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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Thorntown is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
