Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Keeseville, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Keeseville is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
