Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Archer, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent 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 rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Archer is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
