Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Catoosa, OK.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning 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 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 effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than 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 typically set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual 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 and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Catoosa is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
