Governor Eric Holcomb and I thank 蹤獲弝け, Inc. for helping us move closer to our goal of placing an opioid treatment program within an hours drive of every Hoosier, said Douglas Huntsinger, Indiana Executive Director for Drug Prevention, Treatment and Enforcement. As Hoosiers work to recover from this disease, it is extremely important that we continue to expand access to the full continuum of care for substance use disorder in Indiana, including access to medication for opioid use disorder.
The office will be open from 6:00 am 2:30 pm. New patients are welcome to walk in without an appointment between 6:00 a.m. 10:30 a.m. or can call toll free 833-232-0215 or 317-268-2941 to make an appointment. The clinic is open 7 days a week including weekend and holidays.
Methadone is a medication administered daily under monitored, controlled conditions. It has been utilized for years with a great deal of research determining its safety and effectiveness. Once patients begin taking methadone at appropriate levels, withdrawal is avoided, cravings are minimized and physical and mental stabilization occurs. That is when the real recovery begins, said Jessica Nevill, LMHC, WIN Recoverys Clinical Director.
The combination of medication and behavioral health interventions is the most effective in combating this disease, said DJ Rhodes, Chief of Opioid Treatment at 蹤獲弝け Inc. Opioid Use Disorder is a disease; treatment works and recovery is absolutely possible, he added.
