Methadone detoxification is a process which should be undertaken by drug detox experts in an alcohol and drug rehab facility that recognizes how serious and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is known as being far more severe in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals can very easily relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms or worse yet turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. This is why methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of staff at a Rushford Village drug treatment facility that has expertise in addressing this type of detox, and where the person may partake in more extensive rehab services to handle all substance abuse problems.
