Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Lisco, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Lisco is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
