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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense 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 commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Hoffman is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
