Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Altamonte Springs, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is 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 crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Altamonte Springs is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
