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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Morton is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
