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

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not commonly set up to provide a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking supplemental rehabilitation services in Webster is highly recommended, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies that are successful at long term recovery and relapse prevention.
