Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Woodhull, IL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Woodhull is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
