Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be overseen by drug detox specialists in an alcohol and drug treatment program that recognizes how serious and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is very often far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detoxification, and individuals sometimes go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms or worse yet turn to heroin or medical opioids to ease symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be attempted under with the help of staff at an Orrstown drug detox facility which has experience in handling this type of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing can partake in more rehabilitation services to address all addiction concerns.
