Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be supervised by substance abuse professionals within a drug rehab facility who understand how difficult and challenging 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 ease symptoms. This is why methadone detox must only be done under strict supervision at a drug rehabilitation program which has practical experience in handling this type of detox, and where the person can receive additional recovery services to deal with all addiction issues.
