Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated 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 the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 Buffalo is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
