Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Monee, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Monee is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
