Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Jensen Beach, FL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Jensen Beach is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
