Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which must be overseen by substance abuse professionals within a drug treatment program who realize how challenging and difficult 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 typically 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 must only be done under strict supervision at a drug treatment program which has experience in handling this type of detox, and where the individual can receive additional rehabilitation services to deal with all addiction issues.
