Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Wales, MA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to help opiate dependent 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 symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Wales is suggested, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
