Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Becket, MA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Becket is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
