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

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might deliver 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. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Spencer is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
