Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Hampshire, IL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Hampshire is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
