Methadone detox is a process which should be undertaken by drug rehab professionals in a drug and alcohol treatment facility that understands how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detox is very often far more severe when considering symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons can very easily go back to methadone to ease symptoms or even worse begin abusing heroin or prescription pain relievers to ease symptoms. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be undergone under close supervision at a Marne drug treatment facility which has expertise in handling this type of detoxification, and where the individual can partake in more rehab methods to address all addiction problems.
