Methadone detox is a process which should always be undertaken with the assistance of drug treatment experts in an alcohol and drug rehab program that understands how serious and challenging methadone detox is. Methadone detox is known as being significantly more severe in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals sometimes go back to methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or even worse turn to heroin or prescription narcotics to ease symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a Montross drug treatment facility that has expertise in handling this type of detoxification, and where the person may partake in further rehabilitation methods to address all substance abuse concerns.
