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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals 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 rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Verdigre is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
