Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Sunny Isles Beach, FL.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Sunny Isles Beach is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
