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

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

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Binghamton is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
