Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Lyman, NE.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Lyman is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
