Methadone detoxification is a process which should be undertaken by drug rehab professionals in a drug rehabilitation facility that recognizes how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is known as being significantly more severe in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons sometimes go back to methadone to relieve symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms. Due to this methadone detox should only be done under with the help of staff at a Dixons Mills drug detox facility that has expertise in addressing this form of detox, and where the person can partake in further treatment methods to address all addiction problems.
