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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Eldorado is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
