Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should always be undertaken by drug treatment professionals in a drug rehab facility that acknowledges how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is very often far more serious when considering symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons can very easily go back to methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be undergone under close supervision at a San Quentin, CA. drug treatment facility that has experience in handling this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing may take part in further treatment services to overcome all substance abuse concerns.
