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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which 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.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with 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 which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Davenport is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
