Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which should be overseen by drug addiction professionals within a drug treatment program who recognize how challenging and difficult methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is regarded to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals typically 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 close supervision at a drug rehabilitation program which has practical experience in handling this type of detox, and where the person can receive further recovery services to deal with all addiction issues.
