Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Pickrell, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Pickrell is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
