Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.
Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Elmwood Park is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
