Methadone detox is a process which should always be undertaken by drug detox professionals in an alcohol and drug rehab center that understands how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is very often significantly more severe in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons sometimes go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms or worse yet turn to heroin or medical opioids to alleviate symptoms. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be attempted under close supervision at a Shoshone, CA. drug treatment facility which has experience in handling this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing may receive further rehabilitation methods to address all substance abuse concerns.
