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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Oshkosh is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
