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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Kankakee is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
