Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which must be overseen by addiction professionals within a drug rehabilitation center who realize 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 individuals typically revert back to methadone to relieve 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 facility which has practical experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the person can receive further treatment services to address all addiction issues.
