Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Tupelo, OK.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Tupelo is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
