Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should always be overseen by drug detox specialists in an alcohol and drug rehab facility that acknowledges how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more serious when considering symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons sometimes relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detox should only be done under with the help of treatment professionals at a Palm Springs drug detox facility which has expertise in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing can take part in further treatment services to overcome all addiction issues.
