Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Cherry Creek, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Cherry Creek is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
