Methadone detoxification is a process which should be overseen with the assistance of drug detox experts in an alcohol and drug rehab center that recognizes how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is known as being significantly more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and persons can very easily go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms or worse yet turn to heroin or medical opioids to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a River drug rehab which has experience in addressing this type of detox, and where the person may take part in further rehabilitation services to address all addiction problems.
