Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Anthony, FL.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group 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 rehabilitation services in Anthony is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
