Methadone detox is a process which should be undertaken with the assistance of drug detox experts in a drug and alcohol treatment center that acknowledges how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is very often far more severe in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and duration than even heroin detoxification, and individuals often go back to methadone to relieve symptoms or even worse turn to heroin or medical narcotics to ease symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a Killington drug treatment facility that has experience in handling this form of detoxification, and where the person may take part in more rehabilitation methods to address all addiction issues.
