Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Purling, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a broad spectrum of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Purling is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
