Methadone detox is a procedure which should always be undertaken by drug rehab professionals in a drug treatment center that recognizes how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is known as being far more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and duration than even heroin detoxification, and persons often relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms or even worse turn to heroin or medical opioids to ease symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of staff at a Golovin drug treatment facility which has expertise in addressing this type of detox, and where the individual can partake in further rehabilitation services to address all substance abuse concerns.
