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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have 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 that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Ophiem is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
