Methadone detox is a process which should always be undertaken by drug treatment experts in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that recognizes how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is known as being significantly more severe in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons can very easily relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or prescription narcotics to relieve symptoms. This is why methadone detox should only be undergone under close supervision at a Frankford, Delaware drug treatment facility which has expertise in handling this type of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing can receive more rehabilitation methods to address all addiction problems.
