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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Holiday is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
