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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Woodson is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
