Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Moro, IL.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses 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 become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Moro is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
