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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Faxon is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
