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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically set up to offer a broad array of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in North Scituate is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
