Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - East Wareham, MA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help 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 undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual therapy and 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental treatment services in East Wareham is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
