Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Corinth, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual 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 that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Corinth is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
