Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Sagamore Beach, MA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors are triggered when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a wide range of extensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Sagamore Beach is suggested, including therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
