Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Bridgewater, ME.

Methadone is a regulated drug which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are activated when a person ingests 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 get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.

Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not typically geared to provide a wide range of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some may deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts. Seeking additional treatment services in Bridgewater is suggested, including counseling, therapy and psychotherapies that are successful at long term recovery and preventing relapses.
