Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Emma, IL.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent 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 withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Emma is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
