Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Strang, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Strang is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
