Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Jewett, 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 triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Jewett is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
