Methadone detox is a course of action which should be overseen with the assistance of drug treatment professionals in a drug treatment program that acknowledges how tricky and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is very often significantly more severe in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons sometimes relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or medical opioids to alleviate symptoms. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a Seale drug treatment facility that has expertise in handling this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing may receive more extensive rehabilitation services to address all substance abuse concerns.
