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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or 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 used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Meers is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
