Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Wendell Depot, MA.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in drug seeking behavior, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than 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 because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking further recovery services in Wendell Depot is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
