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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities 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 typically designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Leland Grove is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
