Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Mexico Beach, FL.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, 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 clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Mexico Beach is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
