Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Crawford, OK.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Crawford is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
