Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Rosemary Beach, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Rosemary Beach is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
