Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should be undertaken by drug detox experts in a drug treatment facility that understands how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is very often far more severe in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons often relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms or even worse begin abusing heroin or medical narcotics to alleviate symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of treatment professionals at a Red House drug rehab that has expertise in handling this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing can receive further rehab services to overcome all addiction issues.
