Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Oconto, NE.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Oconto is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
