Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Carleton, NE.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Carleton is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
