Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be undertaken with the assistance of drug rehab specialists in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that recognizes how tricky and challenging methadone detox is. Methadone detox is known to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals sometimes relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or medical narcotics to ease symptoms. This is why methadone detox should only be done under with the help of treatment professionals at a Verbena drug treatment facility that has expertise in handling this type of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing can receive more extensive rehab services to address all substance abuse concerns.
