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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to provide a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some may provide individual and group 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Lincolndale is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
