Methadone detoxification is a process which should be overseen by drug treatment experts in a drug rehab center that understands how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is very often far more severe in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals can very easily go back to methadone to ease symptoms or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification should only be attempted under with the help of staff at a Lovettsville drug treatment facility which has experience in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing can receive more treatment methods to address all substance abuse issues.
