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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer 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 designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Corbettsville is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
