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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Denver is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
