Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Daykin, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help 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 effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Daykin is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
