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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Diller is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
