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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in West Brooklyn is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
