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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Rockledge is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
