Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Kingston, NJ.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further treatment services in Kingston is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
