Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Laura, IL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Laura is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
