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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer 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 offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Cottondale is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
