Huntington Clinic

The Huntington Methadone Clinic, operated by the Suffolk County Department of Health, offers medication assisted treatment and counseling for any person over the age of 18, regardless of gender, who is living with opioid addiction disorder. The center is in Huntington, New York, so if you're local to the community, speak with the clinic.

The medication assisted program is offered alongside therapy activities to ensure you can successfully recover not just in the short term but also in the long run. Understandably, you might feel apprehensive about treating your addiction with further medication. Still, the clinic's program is backed by decades of research proving certain medications effectively encourage recovery.

I particularly like that the methadone prescription is taken under the supervision of a qualified professional, ensuring I correctly dose on time. With their professional clinician's assistance, I don't have to worry about taking more than is needed.

With methadone, you can effectively manage withdrawals and cravings. However, you also have the option of Suboxone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone, and you can speak with the clinic to determine which best suits your recovery needs.

During the compulsory therapy sessions, you should expect a comfortable and safe space to process your experiences and feelings of shame and guilt. You can also actively collaborate with your team while developing a support network to help keep you on the road to a sober lifestyle. The center also takes it a step further by offering vocational rehabilitation, too.
