Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Keithsburg, IL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Keithsburg is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
