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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Mooreland is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
