Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be overseen by drug addiction professionals within a drug rehab center who realize how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals frequently revert back to methadone to alleviate withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to alleviate symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification must only be done under strict supervision at a drug rehab program which has practical experience in handling this type of detox, and where the person can receive additional recovery services to deal with all addiction issues.
