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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat 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 feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Council Hill is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
