Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to offer a wide range of extensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver 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. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional recovery services in Woburn is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
