Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Loomis, NE.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people 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 withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and 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 supplemental recovery services in Loomis is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
