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

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to treat opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a wide range of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics might provide individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further recovery services in West Chop is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
