Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Taloga, OK.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Taloga is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
