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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Swink is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
