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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Sebastian is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
