Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should always be undertaken by drug treatment experts in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that recognizes how serious and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is very often far more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and duration than even heroin detox, and persons often go back to methadone to relieve symptoms or even worse turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. This is why methadone detoxification should only be attempted under with the help of treatment professionals at a Jackson drug treatment facility that has experience in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing may take part in more treatment methods to handle all addiction problems.
