Methadone detox is a course of action which should be overseen by drug detox professionals in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that acknowledges how serious and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more serious when considering symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals often relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms or even worse begin abusing heroin or medical pain relievers to relieve symptoms. This is why methadone detox should only be undergone under close supervision at a Mohnton drug detox facility that has expertise in handling this type of detox, and where the person can take part in more rehabilitation services to address all addiction concerns.
