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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious 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 further treatment services in Sangerfield is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
