Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Arcade, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Arcade is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
