Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Hudson, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Hudson is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
