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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Danvers is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
