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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Finley is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
