Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be overseen by substance abuse professionals within a drug treatment program who recognize how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is regarded to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals often revert back to methadone to ease withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms. This is why methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a drug treatment facility which has practical experience in handling this type of detox, and where the individual can receive additional treatment services to deal with all addiction issues.
