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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 further rehabilitation services in Tiskilwa is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
