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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Tovey is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
