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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Hoskins is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
