Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Hendley, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Hendley is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
