Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Lawton, PA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and 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 opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Lawton is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
