Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - West Union, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in West Union is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
