Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Marianna, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group 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 that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Marianna is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
