Our clinical team is exceptionally experienced in detoxing individuals who have been on methadone and wish to discontinue their use.

At Recovery First, we are able to successfully detox individuals from methadone in a safe and supervised environment.

When a person arrives at our detox facility in Florida, we conduct a thorough evaluation of their:

  • Physical health.
  • Psychiatric issues.
  • Life situation.

We then commence compassionate and comfortable medically supervised detoxification that does not involve any use of methadone.

Instead, we administer comfort and prescription medications as needed, including the opioid-withdrawal, symptom-relief medication Lucemyra. We may also administer buprenorphine to help ease withdrawal symptoms in some cases.

Our addiction treatment is individualized to optimize a smooth detoxification process that involves not only medical but psychological support.

In groups, we will discuss topics pertinent to methadone detox, what to expect, and how to cope.

Expert-Led Methadone Detox

To best support individuals during their methadone detox, our program is led by Dr. Charles Smith, an addictionologist who specializes in the science of addiction and shares his expert knowledge of:

  • How long it takes to taper off methadone.
  • The length of time each person may need in detox.
  • Understanding methadone withdrawal symptoms.
  • The use of psychiatric medications during detox and beyond.
  • Maintenance medication options (e.g., Suboxone, an FDA-approved medication for the treatment of opioid use disorder).

During group sessions, Recovery First therapists cover additional topics and teach skills to help with the withdrawal process, such as:

  • Education about the chemical changes happening to the body during recovery.
  • Common challenges in early recovery.
  • Use of relaxation and meditation to cope with withdrawal.
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a tool to understand and deal with internal and external triggers.

Benefits of Our Methadone Detox Program

The clinical team at Recovery First has seen the following benefits when detoxing from methadone without the use of methadone:

  • It facilitates an individual’s separation from methadone smoothly and more quickly than if methadone is used in the process.
  • The individual is able to engage sooner in the full recovery process with less discomfort and a clearer mind.
FAQs About Methadone Detox

Who Can Attend?

Recovery First welcomes anyone who is currently on methadone and wants to get off it. We do require patients to be medically stable and that they understand no methadone will be used during detox.

We also ask that patients be motivated and understanding that the first few days may be difficult.

How Long Is Methadone Detox?

How long methadone detox takes will vary from person to person. The detox timeframe depends on the dose of methadone a person has been taking, how long they have been on methadone, and other individual factors.

What Happens After Detoxing From Methadone?

When a person completes detox from methadone, they will continue addiction treatment as recommended within the standard clinical program.

Depending on the person’s preference and medical needs, they may continue with another medication for addiction treatment (MAT) such as Suboxone, or they may choose not to take any opioid use disorder medications.
