Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be undertaken by drug rehab experts in a drug rehab facility that recognizes how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more severe when considering symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons sometimes go back to methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. This is why methadone detoxification should only be undergone under close supervision at a Mollusk drug rehab that has expertise in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the person can partake in further rehabilitation methods to address all substance abuse concerns.
