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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer 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. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Plympton is suggested, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
