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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning 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 they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of 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.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Eastpoint is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
