Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which should be overseen by substance abuse professionals within a drug treatment center who recognize how challenging and difficult methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more serious 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 ease symptoms. This is why methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a drug treatment center which has experience in handling this type of detox, and where the person can receive further rehabilitation services to handle all addiction issues.
