Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Commerce, OK.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Commerce is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
