Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Nobleton, FL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Nobleton is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
