Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Henning, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people 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 opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Henning is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
