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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Milligan is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
