Methadone detox is a course of action which should always be overseen by drug treatment professionals in a drug rehabilitation center that recognizes how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals often go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or medical pain relievers to alleviate symptoms. For this reason methadone detox should only be attempted under close supervision at an Aubrey drug treatment facility which has experience in handling this type of detox, and where the person may take part in more extensive treatment services to overcome all addiction concerns.
