Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Belle Isle, FL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Belle Isle is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
