Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Port Salerno, FL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses 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 illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Port Salerno is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
