Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Elsie, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Elsie is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
