Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Grahamsville, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses 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 get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 additional recovery services in Grahamsville is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
