Methadone detox is a procedure which should be undertaken by drug treatment experts in a drug rehabilitation program that acknowledges how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is known to be 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 or worse yet turn to heroin or medical narcotics to ease symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of treatment professionals at a Mesa, Arizona drug detox facility which has expertise in handling this type of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing can receive more treatment services to address all substance abuse issues.
