Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which must be supervised by substance abuse professionals within a drug rehab program who understand how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is regarded to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and users often revert back to methadone to alleviate withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification must only be done under close supervision at a drug rehab program which has experience in dealing with this type of detoxification, and where the person can receive further rehabilitation services to address all addiction issues.
