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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Plattsmouth is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
