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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have 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 by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in East Walpole is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
