Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should always be overseen with the assistance of drug rehab professionals in an alcohol and drug treatment center that acknowledges how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detoxification is. Methadone detoxification is very often significantly more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detoxification, and persons sometimes relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or even worse turn to heroin or prescription narcotics to ease symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a Bartow, Florida drug detox facility which has expertise in handling this form of detox, and where the individual can receive further rehabilitation services to address all substance abuse problems.
