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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people 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 opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Sugar Grove is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
