Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Cocoa Beach, FL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group therapy and 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 which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Cocoa Beach is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
