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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically designed to provide a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in South Jamesport is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
