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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Lake Monroe is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
