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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Browns is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
