Methadone Detox
Although methadone is associated commonly with the treatment of opioid addiction as well as one of the most effective treatments for heroin addiction, it may also be prescribed for the treatment of various pain symptoms.
To detox from methadone abuse is considered to be worse than an abrupt detox from heroin, which is why methadone rehabilitation is controlled by a doctor in the form of tiered dosages that decrease over time. Symptoms of methadone detox include: shaking, cramps, nausea chills and irritability to name a few.
At TTP Detox, our preferred choice of methadone detox is to reduce the dosage gradually over a period of time. This is known as medically managed. Our teams of professionals are on hand throughout your detox process.
It is important to us that users continue to make progress after the initial detox, and they will almost certainly require some help to stay off drugs when you leave. This can be a particularly vulnerable time. If you start using illicit opiates again, the chances of overdose are much higher than before detox. We therefore also refer and recommend rehabilitation clinics, which can personalise the most suitable treatment for you.
