Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Alva, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need 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 that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Alva is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
