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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Lane is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
