Methadone detox is a process which should be overseen by drug detox experts in a drug rehabilitation center that recognizes how difficult and challenging methadone detox is. Methadone detox is very often far more serious when considering symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals sometimes go back to methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription narcotics to ease symptoms of withdrawal. This is why methadone detoxification should only be attempted under close supervision at a Melvin drug treatment facility that has expertise in handling this form of detox, and where the person may receive more extensive rehabilitation methods to overcome all addiction problems.
