Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be supervised by substance abuse professionals within a drug rehabilitation program who realize how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is regarded 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 detoxification must only be done under strict supervision at a drug treatment facility which has experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the individual can receive further recovery services to handle all addiction issues.
