Methadone detox is a procedure which should always be undertaken by drug rehab professionals in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that understands how difficult and challenging methadone detox is. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more severe in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and duration than even heroin detoxification, and persons can very easily relapse back onto methadone to ease symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or medical narcotics to relieve symptoms of withdrawal. For this reason methadone detoxification should only be undergone under close supervision at an Atlantic Beach drug rehab which has expertise in handling this form of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing can partake in more treatment services to overcome all addiction problems.
