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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Centralia is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
