Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Coconut Creek, FL.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Coconut Creek is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
