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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because 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 further treatment services in Hobart is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
