Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Tinley Park, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Tinley Park is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
