Methadone detoxification is a process which should be undertaken with the assistance of drug rehab experts in a drug rehabilitation program that understands how serious and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is known as being far more severe when considering symptoms of withdrawal and duration than even heroin detoxification, and individuals sometimes relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms or even worse turn to heroin or medical opioids to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be undergone under close supervision at an Albany drug treatment facility which has experience in handling this form of detoxification, and where the person may take part in further rehabilitation services to address all addiction problems.
