Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mill Shoals, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes 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 get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and 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 by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Mill Shoals is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
