Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Caledonia, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Caledonia is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
