Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which should be supervised by drug addiction professionals within a drug rehab facility who recognize how challenging and difficult methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is regarded to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and users 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 close supervision at a drug treatment facility which has practical experience in handling this type of detox, and where the person can receive additional recovery services to handle all addiction issues.
