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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Steamburg is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
