Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which should be overseen by drug addiction professionals within a drug rehabilitation center who understand how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and users often revert back to methadone to ease withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to alleviate symptoms. This is why methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a drug rehab center which has practical experience in dealing with this type of detoxification, and where the individual can receive further rehabilitation services to deal with all addiction issues.
