Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be supervised by drug addiction professionals within a drug rehabilitation program who recognize 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 typically 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 must only be done under close supervision at a drug treatment facility which has practical experience in handling this type of detoxification, and where the individual can receive additional treatment services to handle all addiction issues.
