Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Aledo, IL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Aledo is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
