Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Bostwick, FL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Bostwick is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
