Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Brewster is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
