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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like 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 used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Endwell is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
