Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be undertaken by drug detox professionals in a drug rehab facility that acknowledges how tricky and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detox is very often far more severe when considering symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons often go back to methadone to relieve symptoms or even worse begin abusing heroin or prescription pain relievers to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be undergone under close supervision at an Olmito drug treatment facility which has experience in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing may take part in more extensive treatment methods to handle all addiction problems.
