Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Bellevue, NE.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Bellevue is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
