Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which should be supervised by addiction professionals within a drug treatment program who understand how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and users frequently 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 must only be done under strict supervision at a drug treatment facility which has practical experience in handling this type of detox, and where the individual can receive additional recovery services to deal with all addiction issues.
