Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be overseen by drug addiction professionals within a drug rehabilitation program who understand how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is regarded 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 detox should only be done under close supervision at a drug rehabilitation center which has experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the individual can receive further treatment services to handle all addiction issues.
