Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which must be overseen by substance abuse professionals within a drug treatment facility who understand how challenging and difficult methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is regarded to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals frequently 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 strict supervision at a drug rehabilitation program which has experience in handling this type of detox, and where the individual can receive additional recovery services to address all addiction issues.
