Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be undertaken by drug detox experts in a drug and alcohol rehab program that recognizes how serious and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is very often far more serious when considering symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals sometimes relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms or even worse turn to heroin or medical narcotics to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. This is why methadone detox should only be attempted under with the help of staff at a Boring drug detox facility that has experience in handling this form of detox, and where the individual may receive further treatment methods to address all substance abuse issues.
