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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Elmwood is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
