Detoxing from methadone or suboxone can take longer than detoxing from other opioids due to their longer half-lives. Withdrawal symptoms from methadone can last anywhere from a week to several weeks, depending on the dosage and duration of use. Suboxone detox can also be prolonged, with symptoms sometimes lasting up to a month. However, medical detox programs like the Waismann Method can help shorten and manage the duration of withdrawal by using medications and advanced treatment protocols to ease symptoms.
