It occupies and activates opioid receptors more slowly than other opioids, and therapeutic doses in opioid-dependent persons do not induce pleasure. The methadone treatment in New York City has been effectively utilized to treat opioid use disorder for more than 40 years and is only offered through specialist opioid treatment centers.

Withdrawal may be excruciating, and the chance of relapsing into the usage of other opiates rises. As a result, some patients talk about continuing methadone therapy but at lesser dosages if they tolerate it. Another effort at tapering might be explored with your doctor if a person has been stable at a lower dose. Because each medicine works differently, a doctor from a reputable healthcare facility consults with each patient to choose the best medication or the methadone treatment in New York City.
