Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should be undertaken with the assistance of drug rehab professionals in an alcohol and drug treatment program that recognizes how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more serious when considering symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons sometimes go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or prescription narcotics to ease symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a Sky Valley drug rehab which has expertise in handling this form of detox, and where the individual may partake in more rehab services to address all addiction issues.
