Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Orangeville, IL.

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

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Orangeville is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
