Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Edgar, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and 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 Edgar is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
