Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be undertaken by drug detox professionals in a drug rehabilitation center that acknowledges how serious and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more severe in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and persons sometimes relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms or worse yet begin abusing heroin or medical narcotics to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. This is why methadone detoxification should only be undergone under close supervision at a Colorado Springs drug treatment facility that has experience in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing can take part in more treatment methods to address all addiction issues.
