Methadone detox is a course of action which should be undertaken with the assistance of drug treatment professionals in a drug rehab program that recognizes how tricky and challenging methadone detox is. Methadone detox is known to be far more severe when considering symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons sometimes relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or medical narcotics to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be undergone under close supervision at a Tustin drug rehab that has experience in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing can receive more extensive rehab services to handle all substance abuse issues.
