Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - New Smyrna Beach, FL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get 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, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in New Smyrna Beach is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
