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

Methadone is a prescription 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 someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and 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 which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Broadwater is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
