Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Cornland, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Cornland is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
