Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Lacon, 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 activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer 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 offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Lacon is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
