Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Tuscarora, NV.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Tuscarora is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
