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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in La Vista is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
