Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Nutting Lake, MA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get 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, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver group and individual 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 similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Nutting Lake is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
