Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be supervised by addiction professionals within a drug rehabilitation center who recognize how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is regarded to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals frequently 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 treatment facility which has experience in handling this type of detoxification, and where the person can receive additional rehabilitation services to handle all addiction issues.
