Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Dibble, OK.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Dibble is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
