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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Worthington is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
