Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Odell, IL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group 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 which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Odell is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
