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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Lake Grove is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
