Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Roscoe, IL.

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

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Roscoe is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
