Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Offutt A F B, NE.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Offutt A F B is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
