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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like 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 programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group therapy and 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. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Mattituck is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
