Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be undertaken by drug detox professionals in a drug rehabilitation facility that understands how tricky and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals can very easily relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription narcotics to ease symptoms. Due to this methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at an El Dorado, KS. drug rehab which has experience in addressing this type of detox, and where the person may partake in further rehabilitation services to handle all substance abuse concerns.
