Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Wesley Chapel, FL.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group 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 supplemental recovery services in Wesley Chapel is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
