Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Loyal, OK.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation 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 because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Loyal is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
