Methadone detox is a procedure which should be overseen by drug detox experts in a drug rehab program that recognizes how serious and challenging methadone detoxification can be. 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 sometimes relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or medical narcotics to ease symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a Little River drug detox facility which has expertise in addressing this form of detox, and where the individual may receive further treatment methods to address all addiction issues.
