Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Eureka, NV.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Eureka is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
