Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Muddy, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Muddy is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
