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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Blue Springs is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
