At DeNovo Recovery, we know how difficult it can be to stop using methadone. It’s a big step that requires support and careful planning. While we don’t offer detox services, we strongly recommend starting with a medically supervised detox. Here’s how you can begin the process and how our residential program can help after detox.

Start with Medical Detox

Detox is the safest way to begin reducing methadone use. Trying to quit cold turkey can be dangerous and lead to severe withdrawal symptoms. A healthcare provider can guide you through a gradual tapering process or recommend medications to ease discomfort.

Understand Methadone Withdrawal

Methadone withdrawal can include nausea, body aches, and anxiety. These symptoms can vary in intensity. A detox program ensures your symptoms are managed safely while providing support and medical care.

Transition to Residential Treatment

After detox, residential treatment can help you stay on track. At DeNovo Recovery, we provide a safe and structured environment. Here, you can focus on recovery without distractions. Our program helps you build the skills needed to maintain sobriety long-term.

Personalized Treatment Plans

We know every recovery journey is different. That’s why we create treatment plans tailored to your needs. Our team works with you to identify your challenges and set realistic goals for your recovery.

Build a Support System

Recovery is easier with the right support. In our program, you’ll join a community of others working toward sobriety. Group therapy helps you connect, share experiences, and stay accountable.

Plan for Life After Treatment

Recovery doesn’t stop when treatment ends. We help you create an aftercare plan that fits your life. This may include therapy, support groups, or local resources to help you stay on track after leaving our program.

Focus on Holistic Healing

Recovery isn’t just about quitting methadone—it’s about rebuilding your life. At DeNovo Recovery, we include mindfulness, light exercise, and other holistic therapies to support your overall well-being.

Take the First Step

Deciding to stop using methadone is a courageous step. With the right support, you can overcome the challenges ahead. We’re here to help you every step of the way.
