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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Thebes is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
