Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Roosevelt, OK.

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

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 Roosevelt is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
