Methadone detox is a course of action which should always be undertaken by drug detox specialists in a drug treatment program that recognizes how difficult and challenging methadone detox is. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals can very easily go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or medical opioids to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of staff at a Lake Panasoffkee drug treatment facility that has experience in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the person can partake in more rehabilitation methods to handle all substance abuse problems.
