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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Eaton Park is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
