Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should always be undertaken by drug treatment experts in a drug rehab facility that recognizes how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is known to be significantly more severe in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals can very easily go back to methadone to ease symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of treatment professionals at a Castlewood drug treatment facility that has experience in addressing this form of detox, and where the individual can take part in further rehabilitation methods to overcome all addiction problems.
