Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be supervised by substance abuse professionals within a drug treatment program who understand how challenging and difficult methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is regarded to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and users often revert back to methadone to alleviate 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 rehab center which has practical experience in handling this type of detoxification, and where the person can receive further recovery services to address all addiction issues.
