Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - East Sandwich, MA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So alternatively to 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 known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in East Sandwich is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
