Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be overseen by addiction professionals within a drug treatment program who realize how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is regarded to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals frequently revert back to methadone to relieve withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to alleviate symptoms. This is why methadone detox should only be done under strict supervision at a drug treatment center which has experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the person can receive further treatment services to deal with all addiction issues.
