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

Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors are triggered when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted individuals 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 effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are authorized to prescribe methadone to these individuals daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly designed to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may offer individual and group 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 similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental treatment services in Scituate is highly recommended, including therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
