Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Eakly, OK.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Eakly is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
