Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Spiro, OK.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Spiro is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
