Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Creston, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Creston is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
