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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Oak Hill is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
