Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be supervised by substance abuse professionals within a drug rehabilitation center who recognize how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is regarded to be far more serious 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 alleviate symptoms. This is why methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a drug treatment center which has practical experience in handling this type of detoxification, and where the individual can receive further treatment services to deal with all addiction issues.
