Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which should be supervised by drug addiction professionals within a drug rehabilitation facility who realize how challenging and difficult methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and users often revert back to methadone to relieve withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification should only be done under strict supervision at a drug treatment center which has practical experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the person can receive additional rehabilitation services to handle all addiction issues.
