Methadone detox is a process which should always be overseen by drug rehab experts in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that recognizes how tricky and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is very often significantly more serious in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals often relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms or even worse turn to heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be attempted under close supervision at a Daleville drug treatment facility that has experience in handling this form of detox, and where the person can take part in further rehab methods to overcome all substance abuse issues.
