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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Tecumseh is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
