Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - De Ruyter, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 further treatment services in De Ruyter is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
