Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should always be undertaken by drug detox professionals in an alcohol and drug rehab program that acknowledges how difficult and challenging methadone detox is. Methadone detoxification is known as being far more serious when considering symptoms of withdrawal and duration than even heroin detoxification, and persons sometimes relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription narcotics to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. This is why methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a Henderson, Nevada drug treatment facility that has expertise in addressing this type of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing can take part in further rehab services to address all substance abuse concerns.
