Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should always be undertaken by drug rehab professionals in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that recognizes how tricky and challenging methadone detox is. Methadone detox is known to be far more serious when considering symptoms and duration than even heroin detoxification, and persons often go back to methadone to ease symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription opioids to alleviate symptoms. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be attempted under close supervision at a Minturn drug treatment facility which has expertise in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the individual can partake in more treatment methods to address all substance abuse concerns.
