Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - West Townsend, MA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel the need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a wide range of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further rehabilitation services in West Townsend is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
