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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that 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 the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Marland is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
