Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be undertaken by drug detox experts in a drug and alcohol rehab program that acknowledges how tricky and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detox is known to be far more serious in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals often relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms or even worse begin abusing heroin or medical pain relievers to ease symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be attempted under with the help of staff at a Lytle drug rehab that has expertise in addressing this form of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing may receive more extensive rehabilitation methods to overcome all addiction issues.
