Methadone detoxification is a process which should be undertaken by drug detox professionals in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that understands how serious and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is known to be far more severe when considering symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals often relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or prescription narcotics to alleviate symptoms. This is why methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a Helper, Utah drug rehab which has experience in addressing this form of detox, and where the individual may take part in more rehab methods to address all addiction issues.
