Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Alder Creek, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Alder Creek is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
