Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Humboldt, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Humboldt is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
