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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain 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 get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Villa Ridge is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
