Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be supervised by drug addiction professionals within a drug treatment center who realize how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals 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 close supervision at a drug rehab program which has experience in handling this type of detoxification, and where the person can receive further rehabilitation services to handle all addiction issues.
