Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Ceres, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Ceres is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
