Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Pembroke Pines, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Pembroke Pines is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
