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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Stillwater is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
