Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Jackson, NE.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual therapy and 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 additional treatment services in Jackson is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
