Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Falls City, NE.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to 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 facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual 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 that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Falls City is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
