Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Yorktown, IN.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual counseling.
