Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be overseen by addiction professionals within a drug treatment program who understand how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and users frequently revert back to methadone to relieve withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms. This is why methadone detox must only be done under strict supervision at a drug rehab program which has experience in handling this type of detox, and where the individual can receive further rehabilitation services to address all addiction issues.
