Methadone detox is a process which should be undertaken with the assistance of drug rehab specialists in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that understands how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is known as being significantly more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detoxification, and persons sometimes relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms or even worse begin abusing heroin or prescription narcotics to relieve symptoms. For this reason methadone detox should only be undergone under close supervision at a Marina Del Rey drug treatment facility that has experience in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the person may receive more treatment methods to address all addiction problems.
