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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Wampsville is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
