Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Utica, NE.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Utica is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
