Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Maxwell, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Maxwell is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
