You should detox from methadone in a medical detox facility. Methadone detox is the worst of all the opiates -- much worse than heroin -- lasts about twice to three times as long, and can be fatal in some cases. Suboxone is often used clinically for methadone detox, along with supporting medications as needed.
I was on 40 mgr. of methadone for a bout 9 years, I started to take 2 mgr. of seboxin 2 weeks ago. How long I need to detox from methadone on seboxin? and how to stop taking seboxin?
If I have a prescription from my doctor for methadone and take it very responsably,with the hope of a two year detox. I have to take a swab test. will this pick up the methadone that I have been on for over one year, without any othetrproplems
Taper down, little bit each day - but if that doesn't work, taper down like, once every 2-4 days (depending on your system, and how long you've did heroine). Other than that, you really can't detox, unless you take Suboxone (or Subutex; which is buprenorphine), or methadone (MMT-methadone maintence treatment). GOOD LUCK!
Methadone is used to treat people who are addicted to opiates such as oxycontin. Many people enter treatment facilities and take methadone to help themselves to get off the opiates and eventually detox from the methadone.
As long as you make it take.

Well, methadone is an extremely powerful narcotic pain killer. It's actually the first step in a gradual detox program from heroine. By a month, your body has already created receptors to replace the ones blocked by the opioids in the methadone. Withdrawals are going to be excruciating and miserable for upwards of 72 hours, and probably will fail. Best method of detox is to find a source of oxycodone or low-dose morphine, and then wean down to low-dose hydrocodone, and then drop the meds completely. Otherwise, strap yourself down in a detox clinic and ride out the few days. You'll feel like death until it's over with. There is no quick detox that can be done on your own, in all probability. Good luck.

Don't take methadone in combination with Valium as this will increase the effects of methadone and can lead to an overdose.
