Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Palatka, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted 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 feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Palatka is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
