Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - King Ferry, NY.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients 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 opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in King Ferry is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
