Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which should be overseen by drug addiction professionals within a drug rehab center who realize how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals often 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 facility which has practical experience in handling this type of detox, and where the person can receive additional treatment services to address all addiction issues.
