Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which should be supervised by substance abuse professionals within a drug treatment center who understand how challenging and difficult methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is regarded to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals often revert back to methadone to alleviate withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms. This is why methadone detox should only be done under strict supervision at a drug treatment program which has practical experience in handling this type of detox, and where the individual can receive additional rehabilitation services to address all addiction issues.
