Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - West Chazy, NY.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have 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 which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in West Chazy is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
