Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Manito, IL.

Methadone is a regulated 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 used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Manito is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
