Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Arnold, NE.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Arnold is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
