Methadone detox is a procedure which should always be overseen with the assistance of drug rehab professionals in a drug treatment facility that recognizes how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification is. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more severe when considering symptoms and duration than even heroin detoxification, and persons can very easily relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or even worse turn to heroin or prescription pain relievers to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a Makawao drug detox facility that has experience in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the individual may receive more rehabilitation services to overcome all addiction problems.
