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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent 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 symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Salina is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
