Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Mokena, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Mokena is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
