Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Barneston, NE.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 further rehabilitation services in Barneston is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
