Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which must be supervised by addiction professionals within a drug treatment program who realize how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is regarded to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals often revert back to methadone to alleviate withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a drug treatment program which has practical experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the person can receive further recovery services to deal with all addiction issues.
