Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Maybrook, NY.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond 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 because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Maybrook is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
