Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - De Peyster, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in De Peyster is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
