Methadone detox is a course of action which should always be undertaken by drug rehab experts in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that recognizes how difficult and challenging methadone detox is. Methadone detox is known as being far more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and duration than even heroin detoxification, and individuals sometimes relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms or even worse turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a Manchester, CA. drug detox facility which has experience in addressing this type of detox, and where the individual may partake in further rehabilitation services to overcome all substance abuse concerns.
