Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ruskin, FL.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that 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 they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Ruskin is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
