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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter 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 experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad array of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in North Rose is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
