Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should be undertaken by drug rehab professionals in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that acknowledges how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons can very easily relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or even worse turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a Cave Junction, OR. drug detox facility which has expertise in handling this form of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing may take part in further treatment methods to overcome all substance abuse issues.
