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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Glen Head is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
