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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond 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 due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Gallupville is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
