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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Camden is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
