Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Arcadia, NE.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Arcadia is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
