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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Colfax is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
