Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Freeville, NY.

Methadone is a prescription drug 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 regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual therapy and 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 which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Freeville is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
