Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Norris City, IL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals 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 effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery 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 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Norris City is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
