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

Methadone is a prescription medication 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 facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Elgin is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
