Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Angora, NE.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Angora is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
