Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Heath, MA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Heath is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are effective in long term recovery and relapse prevention.
