Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Blanco, OK.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted 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, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Blanco is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
