Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Nardin, OK.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Nardin is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
