Methadone detoxification is known to be far more serious when considering symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons often go back to methadone to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet turn to heroin or medical narcotics to alleviate symptoms. For this reason methadone detox should only be attempted under with the help of treatment professionals at a Boynton Beach drug detox facility that has expertise in handling this type of detoxification, and where the individual may receive more extensive rehab services to handle all substance abuse concerns.
