Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Newtonville, MA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and 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 additional rehabilitation services in Newtonville is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
