Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Lake Worth, FL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Lake Worth is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
