Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - South Hackensack, NJ.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad array of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in South Hackensack is suggested, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
