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

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

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Deerfield is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
