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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Patoka is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
