Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Little York, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Little York is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
