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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Nebo is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
