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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Windsor is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
