Methadone detox is a process which should always be undertaken by drug treatment professionals in a drug and alcohol rehab center that recognizes how tricky and how much of a challenge methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is known as being significantly more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detoxification, and individuals sometimes go back to methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet turn to heroin or medical opioids to ease symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be attempted under close supervision at a Sun Valley, California drug detox facility that has expertise in addressing this form of detox, and where the individual may receive further rehabilitation services to overcome all substance abuse issues.
