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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Madison is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
