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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Sadorus is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
