Methadone detox is a process which should be undertaken by drug treatment professionals in an alcohol and drug rehab facility that acknowledges how serious and challenging methadone detox is. Methadone detox is very often significantly more severe when considering symptoms of withdrawal and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals often relapse back onto methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or prescription opioids to alleviate symptoms. This is why methadone detox should only be done under with the help of staff at a Thousand Palms drug treatment facility which has experience in handling this form of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing can receive more extensive rehabilitation services to address all addiction problems.
