Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - East Falmouth, MA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities 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 instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in East Falmouth is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
