Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Thayer, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Thayer is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
