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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Dunlap is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
