Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Indian Lake, NY.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Indian Lake is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
