Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be overseen by substance abuse professionals within a drug treatment facility who understand how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is known 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 must only be done under close supervision at a drug treatment center which has practical experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the person can receive additional rehabilitation services to address all addiction issues.
