Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Miami, IN.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Miami is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
