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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people 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 rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Aventura is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
