Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Nowata, OK.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Nowata is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
