Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Siasconset, MA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to offer a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional rehabilitation services in Siasconset is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
