Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should always be undertaken by drug treatment experts in a drug treatment center that recognizes how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detox is known to be significantly more serious in terms of symptoms and length of time detoxing than even heroin detox, and individuals sometimes relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or even worse begin abusing heroin or prescription narcotics to ease symptoms. For this reason methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a Bethany, West Virginia drug treatment facility which has experience in handling this form of detoxification, and where the person may partake in further treatment services to handle all substance abuse problems.
