Methadone detox is a procedure which should always be overseen by drug detox professionals in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that understands how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and persons can very easily relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or medical opioids to ease symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detox should only be undergone under close supervision at an Accident drug treatment facility that has experience in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the person can take part in more extensive treatment services to overcome all addiction problems.
