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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent people 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 symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual therapy and 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Suwannee is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
