Detox for Methadone

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