Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Polk City, FL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Polk City is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
