Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be supervised by drug addiction professionals within a drug rehab program who understand how challenging and difficult methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is regarded to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals typically revert back to methadone to relieve withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification should only be done under strict supervision at a drug treatment center which has experience in handling this type of detox, and where the individual can receive further rehabilitation services to handle all addiction issues.
