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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Chestnut is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
