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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals 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 withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Gothenburg is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
