Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which must be supervised by substance abuse professionals within a drug rehabilitation facility who understand how challenging and difficult methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is regarded to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and users frequently 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 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.
