Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Wrentham, MA.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are activated when a person uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to treat opiate dependent people so that they don't feel they need to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This method of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a broad spectrum of extensive recovery services other than daily dosing, although some may provide group and individual 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 opiate addicts. Seeking supplemental recovery services in Wrentham is highly recommended, such as therapy, counseling and psychotherapies that are effective in long term rehabilitation and preventing relapses.
