Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Cheyenne, OK.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Cheyenne is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
