Methadone detoxification is a process which should always be undertaken by drug rehab professionals in a drug rehabilitation program that acknowledges how serious and challenging methadone detoxification is. Methadone detox is known as being far more severe in terms of symptoms of withdrawal and length of time detoxing than even heroin detoxification, and persons can very easily relapse back onto methadone to relieve symptoms of withdrawal or worse yet begin abusing heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms of withdrawal. This is why methadone detoxification should only be done under with the help of treatment professionals at a College Park drug treatment facility which has expertise in handling this type of detox, and where the individual who is detoxing may take part in more rehabilitation methods to overcome all addiction issues.
