Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Bradford, IL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get 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, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Bradford is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
