Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Winamac, IN.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is 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 experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed 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 usually geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 supplemental recovery services in Winamac is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
