Methadone detoxification is a procedure which should be overseen with the assistance of drug detox professionals in an alcohol and drug rehab program that recognizes how difficult and how much of a challenge methadone detox is. Methadone detox is known as being far more serious when considering symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and individuals sometimes relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or even worse turn to heroin or medical narcotics to alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. Due to this methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a Cobbtown drug rehab that has experience in addressing this type of detoxification, and where the individual who is detoxing can take part in more rehab services to address all substance abuse issues.
