Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Bolton Landing, NY.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Bolton Landing is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
