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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Lake Park is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
