Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Cambria Heights, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Cambria Heights is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
