Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Vermontville, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Vermontville is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
