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

Methadone is a prescription drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to become involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally designed to offer a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual 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 opiate addicts. Seeking additional recovery services in Stow is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
