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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad spectrum 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 because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in North Java is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
