Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.
Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Brooklyn is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
