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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Mannsville is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
