Methadone detox is a course of action which should always be undertaken with the assistance of drug treatment experts in a drug rehabilitation program that acknowledges how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is known to be far more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons can very easily go back to methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or medical opioids to ease symptoms. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of staff at an Ettrick drug treatment facility that has experience in handling this type of detox, and where the person can take part in more extensive treatment methods to overcome all addiction concerns.
