Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Beckemeyer, IL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Beckemeyer is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
