Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Unity, IL.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Unity is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
