Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Hanover, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Hanover is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
