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