Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Holder, FL.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Holder is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
