Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should always be undertaken with the assistance of drug detox experts in an alcohol and drug rehab facility that understands how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is very often far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and persons can very easily relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription pain relievers to ease symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification should only be attempted under with the help of treatment professionals at a Rosston drug treatment facility that has experience in handling this form of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing may take part in further treatment methods to handle all substance abuse issues.
