Methadone detox is a process which should always be undertaken by drug rehab experts in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that recognizes how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is very often significantly more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and duration than even heroin detoxification, and persons can very easily relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription narcotics to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of staff at a Cima drug detox facility which has expertise in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the person may take part in more extensive rehabilitation methods to handle all addiction concerns.
