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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Lindsay is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
