Methadone detox is a course of action which should always be undertaken with the assistance of drug rehab experts in a drug rehabilitation facility that acknowledges how tricky and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more severe when considering symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals sometimes relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription opioids to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be attempted under with the help of treatment professionals at a Whitman drug treatment facility that has experience in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the individual may partake in further rehabilitation methods to address all substance abuse concerns.
