Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which should be overseen by drug addiction professionals within a drug rehabilitation center who understand how challenging and difficult methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is regarded to be far more severe 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 relieve symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification must only be done under strict supervision at a drug rehabilitation center which has experience in dealing with this type of detoxification, and where the person can receive additional recovery services to handle all addiction issues.
