Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should always be undertaken by drug detox experts in a drug and alcohol treatment facility that acknowledges how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is very often far more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and duration than even heroin detoxification, and individuals can very easily relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be undergone under with the help of staff at a Cherokee Village drug treatment facility which has expertise in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing may take part in more rehab methods to address all addiction concerns.
