Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Timewell, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Timewell is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
