Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be overseen by drug rehab experts in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that recognizes how tricky and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detoxification is very often significantly more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals sometimes relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet begin abusing heroin or medical opioids to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. This is why methadone detox should only be undergone under close supervision at an Ukiah drug treatment facility which has experience in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the individual may partake in more rehab services to address all substance abuse issues.
