Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Dalzell, IL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that 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 Dalzell is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
