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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Deer Creek is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
