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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people 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 effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Carbon Cliff is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
