Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Easton, MA.

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer group and individual therapy and 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Easton is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
