Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Bohemia, NY.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat 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 feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Bohemia is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
