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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Windsor is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
