Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be undertaken with the assistance of drug detox specialists in a drug and alcohol rehab program that understands how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detox is very often significantly more serious when considering symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons can very easily go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription opioids to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a Marinette drug detox facility which has expertise in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the individual can receive more extensive treatment methods to handle all addiction issues.
