Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Waverly, 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 triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad array of extensive treatment 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 because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Waverly is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
