Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Stockville, NE.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because 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 Stockville is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
