Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Villa Park, IL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people 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 opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer 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 which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Villa Park is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
