Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Hamel, 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 a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Hamel is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
