Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which must be overseen by substance abuse professionals within a drug rehabilitation facility who realize how difficult and challenging methadone detox 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 alleviate withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification must only be done under close supervision at a drug rehab center which has experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the person can receive further rehabilitation services to deal with all addiction issues.
