Methadone detox is a process which should always be undertaken with the assistance of drug treatment professionals in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that recognizes how tricky and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is known as being significantly more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detoxification, and persons can very easily go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription narcotics to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detox should only be undergone under close supervision at a Clinton drug detox facility that has experience in addressing this form of detox, and where the person can take part in further treatment methods to overcome all addiction issues.
