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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, 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 on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad spectrum of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group 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 which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Marstons Mills is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
