Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be overseen by addiction professionals within a drug treatment facility who recognize how challenging and difficult methadone detoxification 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 alleviate withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a drug treatment facility which has experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the individual can receive additional treatment services to deal with all addiction issues.
