Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should always be undertaken by drug detox experts in a drug rehabilitation facility that acknowledges how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detoxification is known as being significantly more severe in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals sometimes go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or even worse turn to heroin or prescription pain relievers to ease symptoms. For this reason methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a Red Rock drug treatment facility which has experience in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing can take part in further treatment services to address all addiction concerns.
