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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals 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 instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Winslow is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
