Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Greenville, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Greenville is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
