Methadone detox is a procedure which should always be undertaken by drug treatment specialists in a drug and alcohol treatment center that acknowledges how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is known as being far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals can very easily go back to methadone to ease symptoms or even worse begin abusing heroin or prescription narcotics to alleviate symptoms. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be attempted under close supervision at a Lake Dallas drug treatment facility that has experience in handling this form of detox, and where the person can partake in further rehabilitation methods to address all substance abuse problems.
