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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone 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 illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Ullin is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
