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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Champion is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
