Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Elkhorn, NE.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and 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 by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Elkhorn is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
