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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Castle is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
