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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe 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 usually geared to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some might provide group and individual counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking further rehabilitation services in Salisbury is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
