Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be overseen by drug treatment specialists in a drug treatment program that recognizes how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detox is very often far more serious when considering symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals can very easily go back to methadone to relieve symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms. Due to this methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a Boone drug treatment facility that has expertise in addressing this type of detox, and where the individual may receive further rehab services to handle all addiction concerns.
