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

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group therapy and 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in Warrensburg is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
