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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Waltonville is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
